Dust cover for Apqs Milly ?
Mercedes replied to Housenxtdoor's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
I use a car cover to cover my Millie and it works great. They're plenty big and cover the whole machine and mine packs up in the little case that is attached to the cover. -
Thank you Jim. Sounds like it is a little involved but she can now do some more research on who in the area might be able to do this and cost.

I have a friend who is contemplating purchase of an older APQS machine but the table is just too long (14ft). I thought I read a thread on the forum about how to shorten a table however I have been unable to find it. If this can be done, could someone either point me to the forum topic or provide some additional information on how to do this. I've tried a few searches with way too many results to wade through - none what I wanted. Thanks.

It would help if you'd add a price and the location of the machine. -

I would also be interested in this as I am currently researching computerized systems and IQ is one of them. Mercedes

Unable to quilt collage top where steam-a-seam was used
Mercedes replied to lmdaniluk's topic in Troubleshooting & Tips
I have had a similar problem on my regular sewing machine with sewing through several layers of steam a seam. I used "sewers aid" on the needle and it resolved the problem. I have not done this on my Millie . I'm assuming this would not hurt Millie however maybe some else on the list has tried this on their Millie and can speak to whether it might work?- 4 replies

Quilt path vs Intelliquilter

I'm afraid that's a little far. I'm located in Western Washington. Thanks....Mercedes -

Quilt path vs Intelliquilter

I found out there is hardware you need to purchase from IQ to modify the Hydraulic Lift positioning and also if you have Bliss. Nice to know that IQ has taken the items into consideration in their setup. Mercedes -
Quilt path vs Intelliquilter
Mercedes replied to Mercedes's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Yes, I saw the video with her setup on bliss with hydraulic lift however it doesn't show how she attached the hydraulic lift under the table. I'm not sure if you have to drill holes in the table to do that or attach it in another way. I don't really want to drill any holes in my table or my machine - whatever I purchase or have to modify has to be done without drilling. I'll search on youtube and see if I can find something on how to move the lift. Thanks....Mercedes -

Mercedes replied to Mercedes's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
I have a hydraulic lift and bliss on my machine. It has two clamps each on the front and back lower rails to hold the hydraulic lift and who knows what else. One clamp measures about 4 inches and the other is 1 inch - there's about 18 inches between the two clamps. It looks like from the videos that I would have to somehow move those clamps so the lower rails both front and back have no clamps (no matter whether I went with IQ or Quiltpath). I didn't find any videos on how to modify that setup. I'd like to move that prior to any install of a computerized system. Where and how do y -

I'm located outside of Seattle, Wa. so no IQ dealers on this side of the mountains and MQX in Illinois won't work for me - too far. Just wondering, has anyone installed their own IQ on their Millennium and was it a big deal or fairly straight forward? -

Mercedes replied to Mercedes's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Jim: It's very hard to know what I want because I've never used a computerized system so don't really understand all they can do or can't do for me. I do know I want the "no sew" option because I do a lot of embroidered blocks and want to be able to quilt around the embroidery in the block and the ability to adjust the pattern in side the block (even for wonky blocks). It's good advice to try and decided how I want the system to help me however I don't do well with imagining what I might want because I don't know what I don't know - that really sound funny doesn't it. Hmmmm, the -

Thank you Sue. I've been reading the many posts on the forum on both systems however many of the posts are outdated so I don't know if the questions/answers are even still valid. I'm trying to determine what are my "must haves" however I don't know what I need or want. I was hoping there would be a list somewhere on those features you just can't do without and then start from there but I haven't found one. Neither Quiltpath or IQ do a comparison of other systems to theirs so unless you know what you want - I don't know how I'm ever going to compare them. I realize these systems have u -

Hi Nigel, Thank you for the information. I'm already a member of the yahoo group however most of the posts are with questions on the software. I'm just outside of Seattle, Washington if there's anyone in the area who would do a demo - I really want to see the system. I don't drive in Seattle so it would have to be other than there. Glad to hear I didn't need to add the cost of the STIq and it's a stand alone system - makes it much easier! I did checkout the videos on the intelliquilter site but most of those were on doing specific things - not really getting to know IQ. Wil
